UCF fans buy up Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl school ticket allotment in record time (Video)

The No. 12 UCF Knights are the first Group of Five team to sell their full ticket block in the College Football Playoff era.

Atlanta-based Peach Bowl Inc. reported UCF has sold their entire ticket allotment for the matchup with No .7-rank Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

UCF will be making its first trip to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, while Auburn will make its sixth appearance. Auburn currently holds a 4-1 record in the game, with its last appearance resulting in a 43-24 victory over Virginia in 2011.

UCF officials confirmed to the Peach Bowl that the block of 12,500 tickets marks the largest initial ticket allotment ever sold for a bowl game, and also the fastest sellout in school history.

UCF Athletic Director Danny White said he's not surprised that the school sold out of its ticket allotment in record time.

“I told [Peach Bowl Inc. chief] Gary Stokan that Knight Nation would support their team and support the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl if we were fortunate enough to be invited and our fans did just that," he said in a statement.

Going through its entire allotment in three days also makes UCF one of the fastest Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl teams to sell its entire block of tickets.

“UCF fans have made a huge statement coming out in full force to support their undefeated and 12th-ranked Knights,” Stokan noted. “We’re quickly approaching a game sellout and expect it to be a full house with an unbelievable atmosphere as we ring in the New Year with our 50th Anniversary Game.”

The 50th annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will be played on New Year’s Day at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and will be nationally televised by ESPN. Game time is set for 12:30 p.m. leading into the College Football Playoff Semifinals. This marks the third time the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has been played on New Year’s Day and the first time the game has ever been played in the new $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
